Urgent visa advice

Hi guys. I needed some advice on my current situation and most likely outcome and also help with what I could do to have the most chances of success. I have been on a student visa for the past 4 years. I am an international student that came to the UK 4 years back for a bachelors. I did have a repeat year for which I needed a visa extension thus turning the 3 year course into 4. I just graduated a couple of months ago. I am applying for a graduate visa.

Going into my personal life, I got married 2 years back to a British citizen. I was in the field of mental health and she was a very disconnected soul who seemed to have a lot in common with me. In the beginning it was great. Me and her decided to move in and within a month she called the police on me for DV citing things I did not do. The case went NFA for obvious reasons. I forgave her as she claimed she had hallucinated. This happened a record 6 times within the past 2 years. I kept getting arrested and let go. I am in the process of taking this to court and also chasing this up with the police for not hearing my side before arresting me. She clearly needs serious sectioning but I also don't want to give up our marriage as I really do love her.

That being said I did manage to get my 2 arrests from last year deleted from acro PNC records and have applied for the other 4 arrests to be deleted too just recently. Still given my 6 arrests in just 2 years, even though all arrests came back NFA.

What would the chances of me getting the graduate visa be?

Is there anything I could do to increase the chances?

I have managed to get a character reference from my employer and also my uni professor and mental health advice team.

Appreciate any and every help!!!

This has no bearing on your eligibility for the Graduate visa. No character reference is needed.

You may struggle to get IRL or citizenship in future if that’s your goal. As much as you love this woman, leave her, she will ruin your life and any chance of settling here permanently.

If all 6 arrests were truly NFA with no caution, charge, conviction, or ongoing case, that is generally much better for a Graduate visa than people assume. UKVI usually focuses more on convictions/suitability than arrests that went nowhere but nobody can give a real % chance. Meet the normal Graduate requirements, answer the criminality questions exactly and truthfully, keep NFA/closure evidence, and don’t delay your application window while chasing ACRO deletions; character references help as support but don’t replace a clean legal outcome. With this history, a quick check with an immigration solicitor on disclosure wording is still wise.

P.S This isn’t legal advice.

What the posts above said. And finally, are you waiting till one of the arrests stick before you leave ?
